Taylor Swift has made a surprise stop at a Kansas City children’s hospital, shocking parents and patients alike as she laughed with them, posed for photos and exchanged gifts. All parent Cassie Thomas was told beforehand was that she might want to brush her hair and teeth because there was going to be a special visitor. But she was stunned when Swift, fresh off her Eras Tour and one day before her 35th birthday, walked into her son's room on Thursday at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. “No rumors. Like, we literally had absolutely no idea this was happening,” Thomas recalled. Her 13-year-old son, Beckett Thomas, is a cancer patient and a fan of Swift's Kansas City Chiefs tight-end boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Beckett uses a 3D printer to make earrings bearing his and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' names, walking around the hospital unit selling them to nurses. Now, Swift has a pair as well. “She was amazing,” Beckett's mom said. “So down to earth.” Another patient told Swift that her favorite song was “Love Story" and they later discussed the song “Paper Rings,” in which Swift sings, “I'd marry you with paper rings.” When their conversation veered to discussion of San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy, whose team played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl earlier this year, Swift expressed surprise. “Brock Purdy, What? I mean, I don’t mind Brock Purdy.” Swift said, then continued: “He put me through a lot last February.” Asked before the Super Bowl whether he was prepared to disappoint Swift, Purdy responded: “Yes.” The game ended with Mahomes rallying the Chiefs to their second straight Super Bowl title, 25-22 over the 49ers in overtime. “I was very stressed for a second but it all ended up fine,” Swift told the girl, their recorded conversation posted online. The girl then chimed in: “I like Travis now.” Swift responded with: “Me too. That’s an absolute yes on that one." There is no word on whether Swift will be in the stands when the Chiefs play the Browns on Sunday in Kelce’s hometown of Cleveland.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: If the 'One Nation, One Election' bill becomes a law and gets implemented in 2029, the year of the next Lok Sabha elections, the tenure of many state governments, including the one in Kerala, will be shortened. As recommended by the Ram Nath Kovind committee, the bill's implementation would lead to synchronized elections, affecting the terms of various state governments. States like Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, which held Assembly elections alongside the Lok Sabha elections this year, will complete their full tenure. However, states like Haryana, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, and Jharkhand, with tenures ending in 2029, and Delhi, with a tenure ending in 2030, will witness a change in government approximately six months earlier. The next government in Kerala can rule for three years (Upcoming Assembly Elections and tenure of the next government) 2025: Bihar Can rule for 4 years will lose 1 year 2026: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Puducherry Can rule for 3 years Will lose 2 years 2027: Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Punjab, Manipur, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh Can rule for 2 years Will lose 3 years 2028: Karnataka, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura Can rule for 1 year 2 Options: Extend the government's tenure by one year Impose President's Rule for one year If govt faces early election If the government is forced to resign due to a hung assembly or a vote of no confidence, and an election has to be held, the term of the newly formed government will only last until the time of the general elections. Beneficial for exchequer and political parties 1. If elections are held together, the government's administrative expenses and political parties' campaign expenses will be reduced. 2. Utilizing human resources such as election observers, polling officials, and police collectively will save time and reduce workload. 3. Voters can avoid going to the polling booth multiple times. Migrant workers and those residing far away need to travel home only once in five years for this purpose, reducing the nationwide loss of human resources. Election Commission might seek more time Even if the political parties reach a consensus regarding the 'One Nation, One Election' system, the Election Commission is likely to seek more time for preparations. Although the Ram Nath Kovind committee has recommended implementing this system by 2029, the Election Commission considers it impractical. The Commission states that achieving political consensus and passing a bill in Parliament are only the beginning steps. The actual groundwork will commence only afterwards. Even if the bill is passed by late 2025 or early 2026, there will not be sufficient time to prepare. To conduct simultaneous elections, the number of voting machines would need to be doubled. The companies manufacturing these machines are not capable of producing such a large quantity within a short period. It would take up to three years to achieve this. Hence, implementing the reform by 2029 is deemed impractical.

NEW YORK (AP) — No ex-president had a more prolific and diverse publishing career than Jimmy Carter . His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote. Here is a partial list of books by Carter: “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” “The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East” (With Rosalynn Carter) “Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life” “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections” “Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age” “Always a Reckoning, and Other Poems” (With daughter Amy Carter) “The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer” “Living Faith” “The Virtues of Aging” “An Hour Before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood” “Christmas in Plains: Memories” “The Hornet’s Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War” “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis” “Faith & Freedom: The Christian Challenge for the World” “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” “A Remarkable Mother” “Beyond the White House” “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work” “White House Diary” “NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter” “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety”The Berlin government has sliced the city’s arts and culture budget by €130 million (about $135 million), sparking concerns that institutions may be forced to close and imperiling the German capital’s status as an arts hub. The cuts, which represent 12 percent of the sector’s budget, are part of the city’s 2025 spending plan and have been robustly defended by Berlin’s mayor, Kai Wegner, a member of the right-wing Christian Democratic Union. According to the Art Newspaper (TAN), Wegner blamed the cuts on the “green dreams” of the prior, left-wing administration, citing a need for a “change of mentality” and pointing to the city’s “record” €40 billion budget. Bandied about for weeks, the cuts almost certainly place jobs and programs in jeopardy, and the arts community has been vocal about these and other possible negative outcomes, including a tamping-down of experimental or less commercial programming. Emma Enderby, director of the nonprofit KW Institute for Contemporary Art, told TAN that “culture and clubs bring people to Berlin. They don’t come here for the food, they come here for the history and the culture.” Enderby noted that organizations have still not received information regarding the full budget and that it may not be communicated until mid-January. Nevertheless, with such notice, institutions are already making difficult choices. “We are letting certain positions go and closing certain programmatic initiatives, such as one of our mediation programs,” Enderby told TAN. Calling the cuts “short-sighted,” she explained that “in Berlin, culture costs around 2 percent of the overall economy, yet they’re cutting us between around 10 percent and in some cases 50 percent.” “It’s a very bad decision—pennywise and pound foolish in every sense,” Paul Spies, a co-president of the Berlin Museums Association and former director of the Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin, told the publication. “And it’s been done so bluntly and without input from the cultural department. It doesn’t seem that the Senate has listened to the specialists about what is possible and what is not possible.” Along with musuems, artists are expected to be affected by the cuts. “Many initiatives like studio spaces and residences that support them are also being removed or cut,” said Enderby, “which will completely change the attractiveness of coming to Berlin, an increasingly expensive city to live in.”
